ABSTRACT
This chapter describes reflection on, the Knowledge creation for sustainable innovation (KCSI) programme. It presents one of the achievements to arise from the NIDO foundation's KCSI programme. Netherlands Initiative for Sustainable Development (NIDO) brings together enterprises, governments, social organisations and scientific institutions in programmes aimed at putting sustainability into practice. The KCSI programme aims at the sustainability of innovation processes. The process of innovation and the role of knowledge and of the people who possess that knowledge form its basis. The essence of the KCSI programme entails this process perspective with respect to sustainability. The focus on both sustainability and the preservation of sustainability is expressed in two so-called leap projects. These are projects that are apt to realise leaps forward resulting in discontinuous positive changes. In each of the organisational projects, analysis, diagnosis and design are dealt with, one way or another. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
